Binhai New Area.

Binhai is the second of Tianjin's two urban cores. The older city sits along the Hai River; Binhai stands east of it on the coast of the Bohai Gulf, and the two are treated in the sources as a dual-core city rather than a centre and a suburb. In 1994 Tianjin began shifting its industry eastward and developed the new area with the Port of Tianjin as its core, and in October 2005 the development was written into the national five-year plan. In May 2006 the State Council approved Binhai as a national integrated reform pilot area. The area now holds the economic and technological development zone, an airport economic zone, the Lingang and Nangang industrial areas, the Sino-Singapore Eco-city and the port itself, the world's fourth largest comprehensive trading port.
